I am one of those people who immediately identifies with Terry. I love food. Everything about it is enticing. So, I exercise so I can eat. <BR/><BR/>Terry, I must have missed that you are going to Orlando. Watch the telly and you will see Tom Park on the Toyota of Orlando commercials.

By the way, I'm not a CLL patient but my wife was recently diagnosed. <BR/><BR/>I think fasting can work against your goal of losing weight. I've learned to eat a number of smaller meals a day instead of the three that people normally eat. I believe that, when your body starts getting hungry, it starts hoarding calories just in case (from an evolutionary perspective) it's the beginning of a period of time of food not being available. I know it can be difficult if you are very busy but that's why I keep snacks handy (dried fruit with no sugar added, NUTS, dark chocolate :-)). Of course, that would make me fat anyway if I didn't also excercise 5x/wk... but I only need 20 minutes per if I keep the intensity up!<BR/><BR/>By the way, I avoided the cholesterol lowering meds (that's what started the weight loss) and got off the blood pressure meds I'd been on for 11 years prior. That's a whole 'nother story but I've been able to maintain this for six years now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
